Adeline assisted her husband in his work at the Anderson Funeral Home. She served as the Hostess for many families during their time of bereavement. Adeline and her husband both retired in 1980.
Adeline spent a life rich with family. She fondly loved all seven of her children and their spouses, her 35 grandchildren and 61 great grandchildren. She never missed a birthday card to them over the years and was remarkable in keeping their lives foremost in hers. Adeline was also very active in the Church of St. Mary over the years.
